The covered dining area: red tablecloths, wooden chairs and the bar under a thatched canopy

The courtyard · Bissau Avenue

Thatched roofs, terracotta walls, a dance floor in between.

Chez Afrique sits on Bissau Avenue in East Legon, at Sergeant Adjetey Street, a five-minute walk from the French school. Two thatched roofs cover the tables; the kiosk out front is the cocktail bar.

Sit outside to talk, or sit close to the band. On Fridays the space between the tables is where people dance.
